More likely than not, you’ve seen Marvel’s “Avengers: Infinity War” at this point. But there’s a few of you, however, who still haven’t seen the movie. If you’re still deciding, have no fear; I will save you from having to dodge spoilers any longer.

If you’ve only seen a couple Marvel movies before, or are a fairly casual Marvel fan, one of the best qualities of the movie is that you can still follow the plot and understand what’s going on, even with all the different characters and plot lines. You can even know what’s going on if you only recognize Thanos from Fortnite. But this movie, if you’re a huge Marvel fan, will leave you utterly destroyed. You will remain at the edge of your seat once the credits start rolling, whispering to yourself, “That can’t be the end. This movie cannot be over yet.” And then you’ll stay for the end scenes that Marvel is famous for, but be wary: the final scene is just at intense, and just as shocking. It does, however, give us just a dash of hope.

Now, the plot: There’s really not much I can say that would avoid spoilers. So, here’s the official IMDB synopsis: “As the Avengers and their allies have continued to protect the world from threats too large for any one hero to handle, a new danger has emerged from the cosmic shadows: Thanos. A despot of intergalactic infamy, his goal is to collect all six Infinity Stones, artifacts of unimaginable power, and use them to inflict his twisted will on all of reality. Everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment – the fate of Earth and existence itself has never been more uncertain.” So, yeah, it’s as intense as it sounds. There’s not much further commentary that I can have without spoiling everything.

This movie is jam-packed with next to every character in the official MCU (Marvel Character Universe). Naturally, it would seem like one would overshadow another at some points, but they actually blended everything really nicely. It definitely helped that they divided and conquered (not Thanos style, however). Iron Man, Spiderman, Doctor Strange, and half of the Guardians teamed up, while Rocket, Groot, and Thor stuck together. In Wakanda, “Team Cap” plus War Machine, Vision, and, of course, the Wakandans, held their ground against the onslaught of Thanos’ army. Seriously, there were a TON of characters in here, so there’s a pretty high chance your favorites would be in the film. However, if you’re a fan of Ant-Man or Hawkeye… sorry, you’re out of luck.

Let’s move on to the appearance and editing of the film. Of course this movie would be gorgeous, it’s Marvel! But all the little details were done with such perfection that a fan can’t help but notice them. The iridescence of the Infinity Stones, the sharp lines and angles of each alien’s face, the unbelievably realistic planets, all of them blended together to create the visual film of a lifetime. However, “Infinity War” is, without a doubt, the film of a lifetime, so perhaps it’s fitting.

So, this has been a more in-depth review of “Avengers: Infinity War.” I did my best not to spoil anything, but if you haven’t seen the movie, you’re in serious danger at this point. Like, Thanos-level danger. But regardless, enjoy the film when you finally see it, and may the odds be ever in your favor that your favorite character survives.
